Responsive neurostimulation as a therapy for epilepsy following new-onset refractory status epilepticus: Case series and review of the literature

CONCLUSIONS: Our single-center experience of three cases suggests that RNS is a safe and potentially effective treatment for DRE following NORSE.SIGNIFICANCE: This article reports outcomes of the largest case series of NORSE patients treated with RNS. Since patients with NORSE are at high risk of adverse neuropsychiatric and cognitive sequelae beyond seizures, a unique strength of RNS over other surgical options is the ability to distinguish ictal or peri-ictal from non-epileptic events.PMID:38640819 | DOI:10.1016/j.clinph.2024.03.032
